Maybe they just are very very reclusive???
Maybe they left the waste and were never seen again???
Maybe Melkor drew them all to him because they were his creatures and he was banished from Middle-earth???? (of course, if that was so, he would have taken the Balrogs as well.)
I really do not know. It could have been anything.
The peoples of Middle-earth could have just lost concern with them because none were as great as Smaug or Scatha or any of them and never bothered those below the Ered Mithrin.
